Future of the Royals shines bright in 1-0 win in Houston

Hopefully, we all just got a glimpse of what the future holds for the Kansas City Royals.

With Adalberto Mondesi and Rosell Herrera leading the way, a ninth-inning rally broke a scoreless deadlock to lift the Royals to a 1-0 win in Houston. Against the defending World Series champions, it was Kansas City who came through in the clutch late.

Facing closer Ken Giles, Mondesi led off with a clean single to center before stealing second base. After advancing to third on a flyout, up came Rosell Herrera, who boomed a triple off the center field wall.
